revenue blues

By Mary Gerdt

revenue blues

some call it taxes,

some cannot pay,

some call it revenue,

to hide what they say,

some want to shirk them,

others pay their share,

others have a billion

don't even want to share,

I got those blues....

those low down, not a dime more in my pocket blues,

got that low down taxing problem,

got them old old revenue blues.

The tea party started first

a long long time ago

when we were taxed too high,

the tea it had to go....

into the river...

a long long time ago,

now am thinking about the taxes,

and wondering how to pay,

the man says we don't have a choice,

or we'll take your land away,

and I pay them at the pump you know,

i pay it at the food store,

then when that april come around, they'll want a little more,

revenue,

that is,

that's the price you got to pay,

for living in this freedom,

got the revenue blues today.............

Re-run... Travelogue for the Universe: revenue blues

With news that Vermont legislature is kicking around raising property taxes,
Again,
On top of town taxes,
Oh, pardon me,
Not Taxes,
It's "Revenue "

Tax and Spending 

That's all those lawmakers do.

Revenue is just another word

For Taxing your sorry 😐 ass.

Lawmakers court and are courted,

By Self Interested bags 💼 of money 💰 

I write letters,

Like my Mom did,

Sent into the Ethernet,

The virtual circular file.

The tax bills look 👀 like rent to me,
Spring pay the IRS,
Fall feed the town and state,
For the right to exist on this land,
When they tell us what we can do,
With it.
No, Tax Poetry does Not Rhyme!

Tax, tax, tax
Enough!
I don't care 🤷🏾‍♀️ 
About @Potus taxes,
I care about the Fluff!

Revenue Blues Review... a broken record 😎

The Vermont Legislators that stayed late so they can seize the 💰
Then they passed a bill to force Governor’s Hand
Waiting for the countermoves
Thinking about revenue
Er
Taxes 😿


Prompting me to search for some old Tax poetry 🤔
